LCS Stripping Apron on Fish Cat 4= A waste?

[dakicka]

I just invested in a Fish Cat 4! Yes I know, hundreds of you on this board also have one and I'm late to the game lol. I'll update my avatar as soon as I float the new boat this week in San Diego. I'm excited for the upgrade namely for the free space in front for reeling/casting, entering/exiting my tube, and of course mostly for bringing in those lunker! My question: Is the LCS Stripping Apron a complete waste or what? I am debating on attaching it and I keep thinking that it will be more of a pain than anything. It will limit my free space in front of me and the only benefit it gives is a nice clean 'working space' for attaching lures/tying knots etc. But come on, I think I could probably just do that off to the side over one of the pockets on top of one of my small plano hard boxes or on top of my finesse binder bag? Thoughts anyone? In case you're wondering what the heck is an LCS Stripping Apron here is a pic: http://www.flyfishusa.com/outcast/02-Out...LCS_Aprons Thank You!
